“Very comfortable and well-equipped house.”

I wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend it to others. For the record there is no local pub it's closed down.

“Beautiful cottage, lovely owners.”

Clean, comfortable, and very handy for participating in the Templecombe Medieval Pagent. Thank you.
Ms Barnes May 2019

“I stayed at Hill House whilst house hunting in the area.”

It is very well equipped. The bed was comfortable with lovely crisp bedding. Towels are supplied, which unusually for a rental were big and fluffy! These little things make a real difference I think. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Although you are staying in part of the main house it is very private. I would definitely stay here again.
Mrs Hill March 2019

“Very enjoyable - extremely lovely accommodation with everything that was needed.”

Ideally located for surrounding areas to visit. Friendly owners. We all had a thoroughly lovely break - will definitely recommend to family and friends!!
Mrs Mcivor December 2018

“Such a beautiful cottage, in a good location.”

I was made very welcome, and the owners very helpful. The cottage was beautifully decorated, had everything I needed. It was a lovely welcome, when I arrived with the Christmas tree all lit up. I’m planning to go back again, hopefully next year.
Mrs Nast November 2018

“Fabulous cosy cottage, perfect spot for a winter break.”

Great base for days out to Bath, Sherborne, Wells, Street for shopping at Clark’s outlet, Yeovil to cinema on a wet day too. But was also lovely just to have time indoors chilling by log fire and left feeling totally relaxed and content. Our 9th visit,we love it!

“Just be aware that the cottage is situated on quite a busy road so people with children and dogs need to keep them under control!”

Morrisons is a short drive away which is handy.
Mrs Dows July 2018

“The cottage is in a beautiful location with good road access to Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset.”

The cottage is well appointed and the owners extremely thoughtful with an ample supply of consumables in place on arrival. All the kitchen conveniences were of a good quality and the bedrooms very comfortable. A point to note for visitors is that the entrance is at a tight angle to the road and you need to be careful coming and going. Take your time and don't try to rush - you are on holiday!
Mr Pearce June 2018

“It was a really excellent week in a superb cottage.”

Hosts were very friendly but unobtrusive, and we would recommend the place without hesitation. Nearby railway station was useful.
Mrs Watkins-nash June 2018

“Spacious, well appointed cottage.”

Well equipped kitchen. Plenty storage space. Very comfortable bed. Bit of a dog smell when sitting down in lounge. Good base for exploring the area. Nice fish and chip shop in the village. Unfortunately the local pub has closed down, so you do need to drive for anywhere else to eat.
Ms Chipman June 2018

“It was a perfect cottage.”

What more can I say?!
Mrs Palmer April 2018

“The cottage was amazing and the owners were fantastic, even giving us home made cream teas.”

We want to go back next April. Anything we needed and the owners were on hand to sort. Truly a 5 star experience.
